MÅNEGARM new and old albums
Black Lodge Records will re-release all the MÅNEGARM albums in LP again, as they did for the band's anniversary.
And the band unveiled the artwork for "Fornaldarsagor" album, coming out 26th of April 2019. "The ancient sagas (Fornaldarsagorna) are a saga tree that largely take
place in ancient Scandinavia before Iceland became colonized and before
Christianity became a standing element in Nordic society. The ancient
sagas were written mainly in the 1300s (although some were signed
earlier and others far later). The stories also wander in and out of
several other older works, such as Snorre's Edda, The
Poetic Edda, and many others. The ancient sagas can be described as
medieval tales with a much older content. In Adam of Bremens well-known
text about the pagan nation in Uppsala, it is mentioned that "they also
worship the raised people like gods, as they are given immortality to
thanks for their great deeds." Adam's words attract the imagination of
believing that they may just be the heroes that appear in the saga
tales. On this album, the lyrics are based on various parts and scenes
from several ancient sagas, yet reworked to fit into the music. In some
cases as strictly as possible after the stories, in others more freedom
to weave in you own thoughts. We in Månegarm want you to follow us into
the adventure of the ancient days", the band said.
